Mental health issues: conditions

Mental health issues can range from the stresses we all feel in our daily lives to more serious long-term conditions, such as schizophrenia. Most mental health conditions can either be overcome or managed, especially with early diagnosis and intervention.

Although there are no mental health conditions specific to the Jewish community, many Holocaust survivors and refugees experience the effects of trauma. In London, the Holocaust Survivors Centre runs the Shalvata service, which provides counselling and emotional support for Holocaust survivors and refugees.
